If you happen to live in the United States and have $1500 burning a hole in your pocket, that cash will now buy you a ticket to the Google Glass club, now that Mountain View has <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GoogleGlass/posts/P37jcUjmXUR" target="_blank">swung open its doors to any and all takers</a>. Just keep in mind the product is still very much in beta, and could potentially cause way more trouble than it's worth when it comes to the privacy of those around you...</p><h3>TechSmith Debuts Snagit 3 for Mac with Video Trimming</h3><p>The folks at TechSmith debuted an all-new <a href="http://blogs.techsmith.com/news-events/snagit-release-video-trimming/" target="_blank">Snagit 3 for Mac</a> yesterday, along with Snagit 12 for Windows. The latest version of the Swiss Army knife of screen capture and annotation now includes the ability to trim captured videos and even cut out unwanted sections, along with a more enhanced experience that allows users to capture first and decide whether you want an image or video later. Last but not least, Snagit gains a redesigned editor interface that helps keep the focus on your content. <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/snagit-upgrade.html" target="_blank">Upgrading from a previous version</a> is only $24.95, and TechSmith offers a free 15-day trial download from their website.</p><h3>iOS Game Boy Emulator Receives Nintendo DMCA Takedown</h3><p>MacLife.com reader Brandon Walker sent us a Tuesday tip with a heads-up that the iOS Game Boy emulator <a href="https://twitter.com/rileytestut/status/466287278852030464" target="_blank">GBA4iOS has been removed from GitHub</a> after Nintendo's U.S. division sent developer Riley Testut a DMCA takedown notice. The emulator was unique in that it did not require a jailbreak to install on iOS devices, and even included the ability to sync ROMs via Dropbox. <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-nukes-hugely-popular-ios-game-boy-emulator-140514/" target="_blank">According to TorrentFreak</a>, GBA4iOS will continue to work, although without the ability to download any new ROM files. Walker hopes to get Nintendo's attention with the grassroots Twitter hashtag campaign #boycottNintendo even as Testut has a new version with multiplayer support ready to go.</p><h3>Skyfire Abandons iOS Web Browser Apps</h3><p>Once upon a time, the lack of Adobe Flash Player support on iOS devices was A Really Big Deal, and an entire cottage industry of apps were launched to address that very problem. One of the most popular was Skyfire Web Browser, but sadly all good things must come to an end as the company <a href="http://www.skyfire.com/blog/341/" target="_blank">announced Tuesday</a> it has pulled the iPhone and iPad apps from the App Store to focus on less consumer-centric markets. The Skyfire apps will continue to work as they always have through the remainder of 2014, after which time the Flash video playback option will be turned off; however, other features will continue to work for the foreseeable future.</p><h3>LG Lifeband Touch, Heart Rate Earphones Launch at Best Buy</h3><p><a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lg-electronics-lifeband-touch-and-heart-rate-earphones-launching-just-in-time-for-summer-259049611.html" target="_blank">LG Electronics announced Tuesday</a> the U.S. launch of the Lifeband Touch and Heart Rate Earphones, which will be available exclusively in select Best Buy stores beginning this Sunday, May 18.

Google Search has also added favorite topics, upcoming trips, and favorite authors or blogs to Google Now, and the search giant promises the whole app now loads faster and runs more fluid than ever before.

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/snagit_2.0_video_capture_200px.png" alt="Snagit 2.0 video capture" width="200" height="150" class="graphic-right" />We don’t know many tech journalists and developers who could survive without their favorite screen capture and annotation apps. But regular folks can get excited about the new Snagit 2.0 update released on Tuesday, which arrives with even more powerful image editing features than before.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techsmith.com/snagit-mac-whats-new.html" target="_blank">TechSmith has announced the availability of Snagit 2.0</a> for Mac and Windows, the latest version of the company’s “ultimate screen capture tool.” The update brings new video capture functionality to Snagit as well as image enhancements, new effects and sharing to even more destinations.<br /><br />The big news with Snagit 2.0 is the addition of video capture -- both for recording your screen using MPEG-4 as well as the new webcam image capture feature. Developers commonly use features like this for recording how-to videos, but video capture can have endless possibilities for creative users.<br /><br />Image enhancements are also a big part of Snagit 2.0. New stamps will add flair to your screen captures, while color filters can change the look and feel of your images with grayscale, sepia or color invert. Want to make the canvas match an existing color scheme? The new Snagit is happy to oblige, allowing you to change the canvas color to anything you can imagine.<br /><br />Screen captures can now be rotated to add some interesting perspective, and the Cutout tool allows users to hide sensitive information, turn one capture into two or create an entirely new image altogether. The new Paste from Clipboard feature complements Snagit 2.0’s intuitive new canvas so you’ll always get the right size for every capture.<br /><br />Last but not least, Snagit 2.0 allows for quick sharing of video captures to multiple destinations, ranging from TechSmith’s Camtasia for Mac (where videos can be further edited) to Screencast.com, YouTube, FTP, Facebook or Twitter. Still images can also be sent to more destinations including Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, FTP sites, the clipboard, email and more.<br /><br /><a href="https://store.techsmith.com/buy/snagit" target="_blank">Snagit 2.0 is now available from the TechSmith website for $49.95</a>, which nets you both the Mac and Windows versions for one price; <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/download/snagit/default.asp" target="_blank">a free 30-day trial download</a> and <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/upgrade/snagit/default.asp" target="_blank">upgrade pricing is also available</a>.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.
